    It is not the case that Process separability fails in the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.In the modal interpretation, definite properties are assigned to subsystems via the biorthogonal decomposition, preserving local ontological distinctness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Process separability requires only that processes supervene on intrinsic properties of spacetime parts, which modal property assignment per subsystem satisfies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The failure of state non-separability does not entail failure of process separability if processes are grounded in the modal, not quantum, state.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Vermaas and Dieks's perspectival modal interpretation assigns properties relationally but in ways that remain definable for each system independently of joint states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If each subsystem possesses its own definite modal properties independently, then the causal processes governing each subsystem are locally specifiable, preserving process separability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.State non-separability and property/relational holism obtain in the modal interpretation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Process separability fails for reasons analogous to those establishing state non-separability and property/relational holism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
